I’ve seen what antisemitism looks like in modern Britain. It’s getting worse

It has been almost two years since the appalling Hamas terror attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, and the period since then has been the worst on record for anti-Jewish hate here in the UK.

This is confirmed by this week’s report from the Community Security Trust, which shows that antisemitic incidents are still being reported at a much higher rate than they were before the October 7 attack.

Just two weeks ago, two Jewish women were attacked while eating lunch outside a kosher restaurant in the heart of central London. A couple of weeks before that, three Jewish schoolboys were beaten up on an Underground train. Every day, Jewish people across the country are on the receiving end of antisemitic abuse, harassment and threats, just because they are Jewish.

There is no excuse for this.........
